St. Damien was born in Belgium but spent most of his life ministering to lepers in Molokai, Hawaii. An incredible example of holiness, he dedicated his whole life to spreading the Gospel. Sit down with Dr. James Prothro and Mary McGeehan as they discuss the life and witness of this great saint.
Discussion Question: St. Damien offers us a remarkable example of missionary zeal. How is God calling you to preach the Good News and minister to the less fortunate? Ask the Lord to show you how he invites you to do so in big and small ways.
